BELGRADE – The Director of the Security and Intelligence Agency of Serbia (BIA), Aleksandar Vulin, announced on Friday that he is submitting a resignation from his position.
He stated that the “United States and the European Union are seeking his resignation as a precondition for not imposing sanctions on Serbia”.
Until he was appointed Director of BIA, Vulin was President of the Socialist Movement (PS), a small strongly pro-Russian party that ran in a coalition with the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) in every election since 2012.
PS announced yesterday that it will once again be a part of SNS-led coalition.
Vulin’s resignation was among the demands of the “Serbia against Violence” protests that have been ongoing for 26 weeks in Serbia.
